Hi

After reading all the post (thanks) and getting my hands on make
pure corn whiskey i have a few last questions...

Corn has to be crushed yes but the lack of a grain mill lead me to
wonder ... can it be popped? would popping corn work? (unbuttered
and unsalted :)

Could fresh corn on the cob be used? and if so should i blend it to
a soup ?

In the book the sour mash needs charging with sugar... can if be
done without sugar? ie do a cooked mash method to get the first
charge of sugar to get it going. the way i understand it is that the
yeast makes enziems to make sugar from the grain. so after the fist
charging what is the need for more sugar?

just thinking out side my box... but please tell me if its not going
to work!

thanks

Just buy cracked corn - no need to crush it yourself. Follow the
directions I posted and you will have no problems. There is no need
to pop the corn or add sugar either.
